Agriculture is not the only producer in Bakersfield, however, as the region is the fourth largest producer of oil in the U.S., bringing highly sophisticated technology and skilled, dynamic individuals to the area. Bakersfield continues to be known as one of the most "digital savvy" cities in the United States, according to Digital Government. |
